Au Dentiste

It's awkward to sit in what basically amounts to a recliner that you can't control, with a light shining in your face, and a stranger looking in your mouth. You can't just stare back at them. So as I was trying to find a place on the ceiling to lock my eyes, I had the thought that it would really even the playing field if she took her mask off and let me look into her mouth at the same time...and no, I was not on any anesthesia or drugs at the time. That's okay. I didn't really want to look in her mouth anyway.
